Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate the role that green competence plays as a mediator in the connection between green dedication and green performance in Ghanaian manufacturing businesses. The research involved interviewing 30 high-level executives in positions of decision-making to assess their level of dedication to sustainability, green proficiency, and green performance. According to the findings, the level of green performance within an organisation is favourably influenced by the level of green competence possessed by the leadership of that organisation. However, there was no evidence of a significant relationship between green commitment and green performance, nor was there any evidence of a moderating function of green competence on the relationship between green commitment and green performance. In addition, there was no evidence of a relationship between green commitment and green competence. According to the findings of the study, in order for businesses to improve their environmental performance, it is recommended that they establish a mindset of environmental responsibility and engage in training programmes. In upcoming studies, it will be important to investigate the potential mitigating influence of individual characteristics as well as the impact of societal and institutional variables on the relationships between green dedication, green competence, and green performance in a variety of countries and industries. When attempting to establish the causative relationships that exist between green dedication, green proficiency, and green performance, various research methods ought to be taken into consideration.
